More about the book

Focusing on middle-class men in England during the First World War, this book delves into the lives of those who remained on the home front, emphasizing their unique experiences. It highlights that many of these men did not enlist due to reasons like exemption, age, family duties, or physical unfitness, rather than moral objections to the war. By examining how the war affected their practices, relationships, and identities, it sheds light on a largely overlooked aspect of wartime life, challenging the prevailing narratives centered on servicemen.
